Our crews clean up debris from clearance efforts unrelated to outages. If there’s enough wood, we’ll cut it into pieces to fit a fireplace. However, when the vegetation interferes with the power line that runs from a pole to your meter, trimming and clean-up is your responsibility. In addition, when a power outage occurs, our immediate priority is to restore power to our customers. If trimming is necessary to get the lights back on, we ask you to clean up the outage debris so we can focus on the work of restoring power to the community. If you need help, check online or in your local directory for a reliable tree care company or lawn care service. Many cities in our service area offer debris pick-up or offer drop-off locations after major storm events.
